Welcome to my blog

Hi! I'm Wendy. I write fantasy books about damaged heroes and vengeful villains, real life places and faraway worlds, ancient myths and dark magic, fate and free will. I'm currently working on my first fantasy trilogy: The Crystal Keeper.

I live with my husband and two sons in the Scottish Borders. Being the omnipotent God of Galidom is a full-time job, but when I'm not creating kingdoms or cleaning up the destruction left by my teenage demigods, you can usually find me exploring ancient ruins, wandering in the woods, curled up with a book or catching up with Netflix.
